Paul Hollister tours a dozen celebrated early American houses, from Monticello and Mount Vernon to the Jumel Mansion, the Quincy Homestead, Timothy Dexter’s mansion, the Longfellow House, Cliveden and a haunted house in New Orleans. He cares less for architecture than for the people, courtships and legends attached to each.
An anecdotal tour of American history through its old homes, with James Preston’s illustrations. Download the free EPUB.
